Well she was an American girlRaised on promisesShe couldn't help thinking thatThere was a little more to lifeSomewhere else

After all it was a great big worldWith lots of places to run toAnd if she had to die trying toOne little promise she was gonna keep

ChorusOh ya, alrightTake it easy babyMake it last all nightShe was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that nightShe stood alone on a balconyShe could hear the cars roll byOut on 4/41, like waves crashing on the beach

And for one desperate moment thereHe crept back in a memoryGod, it's so painfulSomething that's so closeIs still so far out of reachChorus(Music solo)ChorusI am an American girlOh ya, I'm an American girlI am an American girlI'm an American girlOh ya, I'm an American girlTake it easy, babeI'm an American girl.
